Default Where to mount amp

Putting an amp in my 16 RGU this weekend as well as my brothers 15 Ultra. Just wondering where and how you have mounted your amps. In my old street glide I mounted on top of the head unit but I don't think there is space on top with the Rushmores

Under the radio, you either need to buy a mount or fab something up. Depending on the amp, you can also mount it on top of the headlight.

Didn't list it because I didn't want it to turn into should do this or get that. I have a kenwood 4 channel marine/cycle amp and Polk marine 6 1/2 for the front and tourpak

I can answer to the RGU and it will need to go under the radio and behind the headlight assembly and for the Ultra, you should be able to get it on top of the radio.
